#1 This also happened to McCain and Romney during their candidacies. It is now a part of the nomination / run for office process.

#2 But not on the Democratic side - where any questions will get you called a 'Birther'.

As for Cruz:

Is he a citizen? Yes.

Did he have to be 'naturalized'? No.

Citizens are either 'natural born' or 'naturalized'. Does anyone know of a third way? Correct me if I'm wrong here...

#3 Excuse your fellow citizens who may be confused after being indoctrinated that anchor babies are American citizens with trying to figure out how someone born in another country might not be in the legit category.

The 'born' provision cited in the 14th Amendment was intended to prevent states from disqualifying the newly liberated blacks as citizens. Everything else is 'interpreted'.

#4 Cruz already went through this show in one of the midwest states a month or so ago. He won, so it got no media play. I suspect they'll continue in state after state until they get a lefty-enough judge or they've muddied the waters enough that less-informed voters abandon him.

To be honest its just as well this happens now rather than in the big race.
